Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another wonderful week of doors. This week I am highlighting some doors that I spotted when we visited the local Sydney Tramway Museum in the Sutherland Shire. To be honest I didn’t even know this existed but one of my colleagues mentioned it to me as I was looking for something different to see / do on my day off. First a little bit of information on this attraction.
The Sydney Tramway Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Australia’s rich transport history. Located in Loftus, a village within the Shire, the museum houses an impressive collection of beautifully restored trams from Sydney, Melbourne, and beyond — including some international vehicles. Visitors have the opportunity to step aboard these historic trams and experience a ride along the museum’s dedicated tramway, providing a sense of what public transport was like in decades past. It even takes you along an old train line into the Royal National Park (sadly not used anymore).
Operated by a dedicated and extremely friendly team of volunteers, the museum combines historical preservation with hands-on experiences, making it a unique destination for history enthusiasts, families, and anyone interested in Sydney’s urban development. With indoor displays, outdoor exhibits (including old advertising posters that I LOVE), a gift shop and picnic areas, the Sydney Tramway Museum offers an engaging and educational day out, celebrating the important role trams have played in shaping the city. An absolutely fantastic day out and I was just simply in awe with the beauty of the old trams, including their doors! I often wish we still had these trams working today in Sydney, as can be seen in Melbourne.






















Thanks for taking a look at my trams and doors. I would highly recommend visiting here and I can’t wait to show people here if they’re visiting in the future. All in all, a great place to see.

What beauties! And what an indictment of today’s transportation in this country, where public transportation is so rare. A fascinating museum — applause to those volunteers!

A lovely post, Wayne! We didn’t know about the Tramway Museum when we were in Sydney. It looks very interesting. I love the last photo. It seems like they’ve kept the trams well.

I love this post, Wayne! We have a Trolley Museum not far from here, but I haven’t been in five years. Now I want to visit again. I love the interior photos. They put so much work into the details of these cars. I remember my mother taking me downtown on a trolley to see the Christmas decorations in the department stores. It was such a fun ride. The cars were similar to some you have here. I am so glad you stopped, and shared these pictures. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I’m going to scroll back up and have another look.
